Chapter 86 Filming Video
Han Ziming could actually film himself, but he wanted to be the model. Besides, ByteDance's editing tool, CapCut, hadn't been released yet, so he really didn't know how to edit special effects and had to leave that to the company.
After everything was arranged, he went to his personal Weibo account and tagged the comment that suggested she film a video, commenting:
"In the process of being arranged!"
Han Ziming has gained a large following due to the success of her TV series and movies, as well as her outstanding appearance.
Of course, he doesn't have as many fans as those top celebrities with tens or hundreds of millions of followers, since he wasn't an actor.
However, his Weibo followers have increased from 500 million to 800 million, and it's worth noting that Han Ziming's novels have a very high percentage of active fans.
The three-word reply propelled the Weibo post to number 12 on the real-time entertainment trending list.
After a night of dissemination, major media outlets and marketing accounts saw that this newcomer was up to something again, so they all wrote and published articles overnight, starting the first round of overtime work in the new year.
[To give fans a treat, director Han Ziming of "The Beginning" did something utterly outrageous!!!]
[Shocking! Han Ziming, director of "The Beginning" and screenwriter of "Brother Kuai," is incredibly devoted to his fans, agreeing to film a short video for them!]
[Shocking! Director Han Ziming of "The Beginning" shows his love for his fans by agreeing to film a video showing off his abs. Is this a distortion of humanity or a decline in morality?]
Just by looking at the headline, you can tell that the media has truly mastered the teachings of the Ministry of Shock and Shock.
However, after replying to the comments on Weibo, Han Ziming turned off his phone and went to rest.
-----------------
March 1, 5 am.
Han Ziming has returned to Mozi Films and gotten back into work mode, and the filming schedule was finalized yesterday.
Moreover, Li Feng had already messaged Han Ziming that morning saying the music copyright had been secured. So the group met up in a studio at Mozi Films and began working.
In just a few shots, Han Ziming casually performed the scenes according to the script. As an actor in his previous life, he could get into character very quickly.
He was shirtless, showing off his eight-pack abs, which drew praise from photographer Yang and editor Zhang.
Actually, his muscular physique is similar to that of Bruce Lee, the kung fu star we used to see in movies; he has a thinner, more muscular build.
He's muscular when he's naked, but looks slim when he's dressed.
While adjusting the camera, photographer Yang said, "Boss, it's a real shame you're not a celebrity with a figure like that."
Editor Zhang echoed, "Yeah, with those abs and that handsome face, he's sure to seduce countless young women."
Photographer Yang added, "Old Yang, you're good with words. Don't say that next time, but it's definitely something to consider."
Han Ziming smiled and said, "It's not as exaggerated as you all say. Besides, being an actor is very hard work. It's better to watch others perform than to perform for them."
Editor Zhang was full of admiration, but he asked doubtfully, "Why did the boss go to such lengths to make such a good video? Wouldn't it have been simpler to just make a video about abs?"
Han Ziming waved his hand: "Since we're going to film this, it has to be of a certain standard, right? Besides showing off our figures, adding special effects would instantly make it more high-end and be befitting of a director."
Photographer Yang said excitedly:
"Boss, you know what? The sense of layering is really there!"
Han Ziming added, "At the very end, add the Mozi Film & Television brand and recommend everyone to watch the TV series 'The Beginning' and the movie 'Take My Brother Away.' Once this film gets a lot of views, the TV series and movie will take off!"
Editor Zhang Ge said admiringly:
"Hey, it has to be you, boss. You sneaked in your own stuff, taking pictures of GG. What a waste of all the natural advantages you have."
Han Ziming shook his head helplessly: "Alright, this is for attracting traffic. Let's focus on finishing the video. The special effects still need time to be done."
In fact, Han Ziming planned to use this to establish himself on Douyin, because the videos would not only be posted on Weibo.
It's worth noting that ByteDance started investing heavily in Douyin as early as 2017, and Han Ziming also holds shares in ByteDance. It's his duty to promote Douyin's development by making short videos.
Moreover, he knows that future movie box office revenue will continue to rise, and he needs to keep up with this trend, gain more fans, and facilitate future movie promotion. If the movie doesn't sell out, it's not unreasonable to cut ticket prices, since it's not like he's making a bad movie.
Moreover, Lin Yun has also started looking for MCN agencies, and Han Ziming plans to enter the short drama field in the future.
Although the plot of the short drama is mindless, it is really addictive. Most importantly, it is highly profitable. It can cost a few million to make hundreds of millions.
Soon, all the scenes except for the Breath of Thunder scene were filmed. Because the winter in Yanjing is too cold to film outdoors, we could only use green screens and add special effects later.
Han Ziming, shirtless and holding a knife, stood in front of the green screen, which was quite comical, and everyone couldn't help but laugh.
After a short while, the filming was finally finished.
After tidying up, the group went to attend to other matters, leaving it up to the editor's editing skills.
Han Ziming then returned to his office.
Li Feng found him and handed him a document, saying, "Boss, this is the investment contract for 'Never Say Die,' you need to sign it."
Han Ziming read the contract, and signed it if there were no problems.
He handed it back to Li Feng and then said:
"No news yet on the animated film adaptation of Jiaozi?"
Li Feng said helplessly:
"Mr. Wang mentioned Jiaozi and fiber optics, but he said he would consider increasing investment after the fiber optics New Year's movie is released and there is a return on investment."
Han Ziming laughed and said, "He's probably waiting for Baoqiang's 'Buddies in India' to be released during the Spring Festival. That's fine, anyway, we at Mozi Films are also waiting for the project to pay off."
After all, Mozi Films' recently released TV series and movies will only have money to invest after the New Year to generate revenue.
I remember that fiber optic films didn't make money during the 2017 Spring Festival season, so there are still opportunities.
As he thought about it, Han Ziming couldn't help but smile. The two TV series he had introduced to President Wang last time were going to be filmed this year. Fortunately, fiber optics hadn't asked him to invest, which suited him just fine.
Even if the movie project "Take My Brother Away" is profitable, the investment ratio in fiber optics is not high, and the profits are not much. They probably need to divert money from other sources.
Unwittingly, fiber optics opened two more TV series projects, increasing the chances of investing in "Ne Zha".
That was quite a stroke of genius.
Han Ziming then added, "Tell Jiaozi that our determination to invest will not change, and we will not interfere with their production. If there is a real shortage, the investment budget can be increased."
When Li Feng heard Han Ziming ask for more money, he was speechless: "Boss, are you making it so that the banknotes have no choice but to choose us? But we don't have much cash left!"
Han Ziming affirmed, "Um, the payment will be made in a month. By then, the movie will have finished airing and the payment will be received, as will the TV series. As long as Fiber Optics agrees, we'll find a way to invest."
For example, we could sign a contract first. We've worked so hard on this project; we can't let it fall through.
Seeing Han Ziming's determination, Li Feng didn't argue: "Alright, boss, I'll keep a close eye on it."
